Zipporah, the blood bride of historyThere was circumcision for sure!There was blood as well, in abundanceYou resolved his ambiguity for ever*

History got written in circumcised bloodMenstrual blood in the rags

* Ger in Hebrew means sojourner* “I have been a sojourner in a foreign land.”(Exodus 2: 22). It is not clear what Moses means by it. Does he refer to his alienation among Israeli people as an Egyptian? Or an alienation that he, an Egyptian, felt among the Egyptians as the savior of the Israelis? Or his life in Midian, where he took shelter after he had killed an Egyptian?* Zipporah means little bird* Exodus 4: 24-27. The passage is very strange and difficult. It is not clear who is circumcised, Moses or his son, by Zipporah.
